Full text search for find item wizard
Optionally use MySQL full text indexing for a google-like search in the find item wizard. Currently we use quick find fields. The idea here is we could use full text indexing of a table instead.
I think a unified text search would be a wonderful thing. It needn't use full text search even. I propose we use the current "quick find fields" and do a query on every table and the genes (and sequence?!) and return categorised results. It could also support CHROM:0-1000 type entry which would return both text and "entities in region" results.
This would replace the current find widget.
